Everyone Needs a Favourite Place by Rebecca Grant Today I want to write about my favourite place.
13
It's by the window in my bedroom.
14
I've got a dark red armchair and a blanket.
15
My grandma made the blanket for me when I was little.
16
Next to the chair is a bookshelf with my favourite books and there's also a little chest of drawers.
17
On top of it there are some stones I collected from the beach.
18
I've got a few photographs on one side of the window and a mirror on the other side.
19
I've got curtains on my window too.
20
Do you have a favourite place at home?
21
Is it in your bedroom or in the sitting room or somewhere else?
22
Maybe you don't have one but you want to make somewhere you like special.
23
Then here are a few ideas to help you create your special place.
24
1. Light is important in a room.
25
Is there natural light or do you need a lamp?
26
2. You don't need a lot of furniture.

A chair or an armchair is enough.
28
Or you can put a few large cushions on the carpet in a corner.
29
You don't really need anything else.
30
3. What colours do you like around you?
31
Use something like cushions to give colour to your bed.
32
Posters and blankets work well for colour too.
33
4. Now you can collect some favourite things to put in your special place.
34
Remember, no one is the same, so everyone's favourite place is different.
35
Anyone can make their place special.

In the evenings, I sat by the open window and listened to the sound of the wind and the waves.
41
It was wonderful.
42
After breakfast, when I went out to paint and draw, I always had lots of ideas for pictures.
43
Most days I didn't see anyone except my neighbour.
44
He was a fisherman.

He really liked my work and I sold him a drawing for his wall.
46
I grew up in a small town in Canada.
47
My grandma took me for walks and told me everything about the animals and plants there.
48
When I was 19, I went to music school in Toronto.
49
At first, I loved the big city.
50
Then I started writing my own songs about, guess what, nature in and around my hometown.
51
So five years ago, I moved back, and now I don't want to live anywhere else.
52
3. Paul Davidson, dancer.
53
I started dancing when I was very young.
54
It was hard work, but I was good,
55
and I danced with famous companies in Russia, the USA, and Europe.
56
I didn't really have a home, so when I had enough money, I bought a tiny flat in London.
57
I love it there.
58
The world of dance is busy and tiring, and it's great to be able to get back to my flat.
59
I close the door, lie on my bed and listen to music.
60

I can walk there in five minutes.
77
There's this amazing tree right on the top of the hill, and there's usually no one around.

- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come bedroom, blanket, garage.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
